Return to the Secret Realm

“No, Senior Sister, I’m very happy that you were able to obtain this Magical Artifact,” Xiao Feng said sincerely.

Zhao Yuwei naturally saw that Xiao Feng was genuinely happy for her, but she also noticed Xiao Feng’s doubt.

“Is there something you want to ask me?” Zhao Yuwei asked softly.

Xiao Feng hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

He wanted to know how they, who had been driven to the brink of madness and almost completely immersed in slaughter, and Zhao Yuwei, despite her inherently cold nature and dislike for killing, managed to see through the hidden mysteries within.

“Senior Sister, you’re amazing! The three of us almost turned into monsters who only knew how to kill, but I didn’t expect Senior Sister to be so awesome!” Xiao Feng subtly flattered her.

Upon hearing Xiao Feng’s words, Zhao Yuwei rolled her eyes at him and said, “Although I’m not as smart as you, I’m still a Genius with extraordinary talent.”

“You were just too anxious, so you were temporarily trapped by the predicament. Given enough time, you would also be able to comprehend the principles within.”

This ice and snow world was devoid of killing intent everywhere, filled with peace.

Especially the valley, which was the core area, had warmth and peace as its environmental theme.

The Artifact Spirit’s test was never about how strong its future master would be, but to make them understand that slaughter is not eternal; only peace is the Righteous Path.

The state of Xiao Feng and the other two indeed added many twists and turns to the originally simple test.

Otherwise, given Xiao Feng’s Comprehension Ability, he would have long ago understood the ultimate mystery of the ice and snow world.

However, Xiao Feng actually thought it was quite good that this Artifact Spirit recognized Zhao Yuwei as its master.

After all, Zhao Yuwei was originally a Glacial Holy Physique, and this Magical Artifact’s main attribute was definitely also ice-attributed, making it more compatible with Zhao Yuwei than with himself.

Moreover, it could also increase Zhao Yuwei’s strength, giving her the power to protect herself!

Xiao Feng was truly happy for Zhao Yuwei that she was able to subdue the Artifact Spirit and have it recognize her as its master.

“Senior Sister, from now on, I’ll be relying on you to protect me!” Xiao Feng joked with Zhao Yuwei.

Zhao Yuwei directly raised her hand and tapped Xiao Feng’s head, then waved her hand. The Artifact Spirit in front of them and the ice and snow world around them instantly disappeared.

Zhao Yuwei had already put away this Magical Artifact.

No, the Tenfold Snow Mountain was not a Magical Artifact. The moment an Artifact Spirit was born within it, it became a true Immortal Artifact.

Now that the Immortal Artifact had been taken away, Xiao Feng and the others naturally left the ice and snow world and returned to the previous Demon Emperor Secret Realm.

Xiao Feng and the others walked towards the center of the Demon Emperor Secret Realm. After walking for a short while, Xiao Feng spoke with some uncertainty, “Don’t you think the Spiritual Qi in this Demon Emperor Secret Realm seems much thinner than before?”

Wuchi and Zhou Ming also nodded.

Zhao Yuwei, on the other hand, knew the reason. The Artifact Spirit of the Tenfold Snow Mountain told Zhao Yuwei that most of the Spiritual Qi in the Demon Emperor Secret Realm originally came from the ice and snow world.

Now that the ice and snow world had recognized a new master, it naturally would no longer channel its Spiritual Qi into the Demon Emperor Secret Realm.

It could be said that the disappearance of the Tenfold Snow Mountain, an Immortal Artifact, would have a significant impact on the Secret Realm.

“Tenfold Snow Mountain means that this will affect the Foundation of the Demon Emperor Secret Realm.” Tenfold Snow Mountain was the name of the Artifact Spirit.

Upon hearing Zhao Yuwei say this, Xiao Feng immediately realized that they had caused a great disaster.

This was the Demon Emperor Secret Realm!

Although there were many dangers within, it had to be said that there were also many opportunities and treasures.

If the Demon Emperor Secret Realm was destroyed because Xiao Feng and the others took away the Tenfold Snow Mountain, Xiao Feng and the others might not be able to stay in the Monster Realm.

Moreover, the Tenfold Snow Mountain was originally an extremely powerful Immortal Artifact, and the Yao Race would not possibly not covet it.

As soon as Zhao Yuwei spoke, the atmosphere instantly solidified.

Wuchi was the first to react. He sighed lightly, turned his head to look at Xiao Feng, and said with some reluctance, “All good things must come to an end. I… I might have to part ways with you.”

Xiao Feng knew it was because of what Zhao Yuwei had just said.

Wuchi looked at Xiao Feng with reluctance in his eyes, but he still said, “After all, I am of the Yao Race. I have my people and my clansmen. The trouble you caused this time is truly too great.”

“Although this is your opportunity, this is ultimately on the Monster Realm’s territory. I won’t ask you to hand over the Tenfold Snow Mountain, but I can no longer act with you.”

“I always have to consider them and cannot bring insoluble trouble upon myself.”

In fact, Wuchi also wanted to say that Xiao Feng was purely a trouble-attracting Physique!

But if it weren’t for the immense impact of this matter, Wuchi would never have actively suggested leaving Xiao Feng’s side.

The most Wuchi could do was keep this secret for Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei, never telling anyone else that the changes in the Demon Emperor Secret Realm were due to Xiao Feng and the others.

After such a long time together, Xiao Feng was also very reluctant to part with Wuchi.

Whether it was when Xiao Feng was at his wits’ end and sought Wuchi’s protection, or Wuchi’s help after entering the Secret Realm.

Xiao Feng kept it all in his heart.

But precisely because of this, even though Xiao Feng was reluctant to let Wuchi leave, he still agreed to his request.

Xiao Feng glanced at Zhao Yuwei, who understood Xiao Feng’s meaning and took out many Medicinal Pills from her personal Storage Ring.

With a wave of Xiao Feng’s hand, these Medicinal Pills floated in front of Wuchi.

“Senior Wuchi, please accept these Medicinal Pills. Consider them our parting gift.”

Xiao Feng smiled gently, but Wuchi could see the hidden reluctance in Xiao Feng’s eyes.

Wuchi already felt that it was a very immoral thing to part with Xiao Feng and the others after knowing how much trouble they had caused. How could he still accept the Medicinal Pills Xiao Feng gave him?

“I’ve already received enough Medicinal Pills from you. These originally belong to you. You don’t need to give them to me, and I don’t have the face to take them again,” Wuchi said bitterly.

“Senior Wuchi, we have journeyed together all this way, and you have helped us solve many problems. How can you say such self-deprecating words?”

“I understand your difficulties. If I were in your shoes, I might not have done any better!”

Xiao Feng’s words were sincere.

If he were Wuchi and encountered such a situation, if he didn’t expose this matter, if he didn’t force Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei to put the Tenfold Snow Mountain back in its original place, it would already show his noble character.

So Xiao Feng truly understood Wuchi’s choice.

But the more understanding Xiao Feng was, the more Wuchi felt he was letting Xiao Feng down.

Xiao Feng simply found a Storage Ring, directly put all the Medicinal Pills into it, and then forcefully shoved the Storage Ring into Wuchi’s hand.
